Definitions

What is roleplaying?: -Roleplaying is creating a character that is different than yourself and thinking and acting the way he/she would in the given circumstances

What’s metagaming?: -Metagaming is using OOC information IC. For example, if someone read my application and found out that my character is afraid of deep water then we got into a fight and he was loosing so he runs away, his character doesn't know that I'm afraid of deep water, and crosses a deep river to get away from me because OOC he knows that my character can't cross deep water.
 

What’s powergaming?: -Powergaming is acting without giving other players a chance to react. For example *Luc jumps out of the woods and kills Bob* is powergaming, it should be *Luc jumps out of the woods and attempts to kill Bob* which gives Bob time to react.

What race are they (and sub-race)?: -Luc is part Halfling but is more human, he has some Halfling traits that most humans don't have but at first glance anyone would assume that he was human so he assumes that a few generations ago a human and Halfling bred and that it has just been humans since then and that is where his Halfling traits come from.

What sex are they?: -Male

How old are they?: -19yrs old

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): -

 

When I was a child I lived in a shack on a small island in a swamp with my father and mother, the only way to get to and from it was by canoe. My mother always treated me very kindly and I loved her very much, my father also treated me kindly but only when my mother was around. Whenever my mother would leave for a walk my father would beat me and threaten to hurt my mother if I told her about the beatings. When I turned thirteen my father started taking me out for "hunting and fishing trips" where he would take me out to the middle of a pond or a lake and throw me in just to watch me flail around in an attempt not to drown then pull me out at the very last second just to throw me back in again as soon as I caught my breath then say he was teaching me how to swim. After my little "swimming lessons" he would make me set up a tent for him then he would beat me if it didn't meet his standards, which it never did. At night he would make me sleep outside only giving me an old worn out blanket and sometimes an old tarp on the rainy nights. He always fed me well so that I wouldn't look malnourished when we came home.

After a few trips with my father I had finally taught myself how to swim and was actually pretty good so I tried to swim to land and get away from my father but he had canoed over to me pulled me into the canoe and hit me upside the head with a canoe  paddle knocking me out. When I woke up I was at home lying on the kitchen table and my mother walked over and started talking to me. Apparently my father had told her that I fell out of the canoe and hit my head on a cypress knee then she told me that he wasn't home so I could tell her what really happened. I suddenly felt like I was shocked when she said that but I quickly recovered and said that what my father said was true then asked for some pain medicine so my mother went outside and a few minutes later came back in with some leaves and roots then made me chew on them. After chewing a couple of the roots I felt light headed and the last thing I remember after that is my mother walking over to me.

When I finally woke up I saw my father holding a large stick and my mother lying chest down on the floor, her bare back bleeding where she was hit repeatedly by my father. At first I was confused, wondering if I was imagining it, then I realized what happened, while I was lightheaded I must have told my mother about the beatings. I then felt my adrenaline pumping and got up off the table picked up one of the knifes my father used to field dress the animals we killed while hunting, then I started running at my father whose back was turned to me but when I got close his arm whipped around with the stick and it hit me on my cheek then without thinking I ran out the door. I then ran over to the canoe, jumped in, cut the rope that my father had tied to a tree, and started paddling away. I must have caught my father by surprise because I was already ten feet off shore before he even got out the door and because we only had one canoe he stopped chasing me at the shore and started cursing at me.

I had been canoeing for a few days and was very hungry before I had found any sign of other human life but I eventually did find a town. Though I was very excited about finding the town it was very awkward for me because the only time I had never seen another human other than my mother and father was when someone got lost in the swamp and found my shack. When I finally mustered up enough courage to go into the town I was amazed at the sight of other people! I soon got over the amazement when I smelled freshly baked bread from a bakery, a smell I had never smelled but a couple of times when my mother baked it on special holidays, so I went in and asked for a loaf but was confused by their monetary system so I decided that I would just wait until no one was looking and just take a couple loafs which I did. After a few days in the town I was finally getting used to being around other people and money and everything when I saw my father walking into the bakery, he must have had another canoe hidden somewhere on the island, so I ran to my canoe which was hidden on the shore a little ways out of town and left as quickly as I could and haven't seen him since.

Once I left it only took a day to Find another town where I stayed for around a week before I was caught stealing some clothes from the tailor shop and was forced to leave the town. For the next few months I kept up the same routine, find a town, stay for a week or so, live off of what I stole, get caught, then move on until one time I was caught and couldn't get away. I was caught stealing some carrots and potatoes from a farm so in order to repay the owner of the farm I had to work on his farm for a week. During that week I discovered that I actually enjoyed farming quite a bit so after I had repaid my debt I left the town. From then on I no longer stole from people except as a last resort, which sadly happened very often, instead I tried to find work on farms and occasionally as an apprentice for mages, carpenters, and smiths learning the basics in everything from magic to mining and am actually skilled in both farming and thievery.

 

Even now I am still traveling trying to find work on farms and resulting to thievery when I can't find work. But lately I haven't been able to do much work because I was unlucky enough to have encountered a nethermane while working on a farm then tried to shoe it away before it could get any of the cows but it attacked me leaving me unconscious  when it must have seen a large cow and went to kill it because I actually woke up and when I did I was still lying at the edge of the field. I must have been lying there for at least an hour before one of the other workers found me then got help. Now I am just living off the little bit of money that I had saved up before the accident and hoping that it won't be much longer until I'm healthy and strong enough to work and travel again.

 

((I'm sorry about the length, I got carried away))

What are they like (personality)?: -Luc is very shy (because of the years alone in the swamp), he doesn't show very much emotion but when he does you won't miss it, he refuses to beg and hates people that do because he considers it even less honorable than stealing because it requires absolutely no skill, he is willing to do anything to survive but tries very hard to not hurt others in any way if he doesn't have to but wont hesitate if thinks he thinks his life depends on it, like I said he tries not to hurt anybody if he doesn't have to so if he is attacked he is more likely to run than fight back plus he isn't very skilled in melee

What are their ambitions?: -to stay alive

Do they have any special skills?: -he is a skilled farmer and thief

What are their weaknesses?: -Luc is afraid of water more than 6ft deep

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: -Luc is 3ft 10in tall, has light skin, 1 blue and 1 green eye, his face is always shaven but you couldn't ever tell because he always wears a hood that covers his face, he is naturally very thin (but the lack of food that he has right now isn't really helping anything) and agile, and is relatively weak at the moment because he hasn't been able to do much physical activities lately

Anything else you want to say about them?: -Nope

Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -I'm sorry but minecraft crashes every time I try to take a screenshot so I don't have any pictures of it
